Do You Believe in Monsters?

What would you do if the fate of the world rested on your shoulders, and yours alone? What if generations of your family had been in the same situation? And what if nobody around you believed in any of it? That's the scenario in a new book, The Caretaker of Lorne Field by Dave Zeltserman, and it is fascinating! Jack Durkin's family has sacrificed generations of first-born sons to fulfill a contract with the city. Every day these first-born sons methodically weed a field full of Aukowies, weed-like monsters that will take over the world if left alone. But everyone in town, including his wife and first-born son, think that he is crazy . . . that the weeds are just weeds. Who is right? Who is delusional? You'll have to read the book to find out!
